Another very happy metro Detroiter
I've attended the marathon before as a spectator. I don't think it will be a big problem and I would bet that they change the route to accommodate SA. Even if they don't, the freeways will still be open and the Lodge Freeway dead-ends right into the Joe's very large parking garage. If you don't want to pay for parking there, you could use the Greektown Casino's free garage just off I-75 or find someplace by a People Mover station and take that right to the doors of the Joe avoiding any of the marathon route. Detroit can handle a lot of people and traffic.
The biggest problem would be crossing the border on marathon day. That might be a nightmare! Do we know for sure if there will be competition on Sunday? I know the exhibition will be held that day.
As others have mentioned, I'd book a hotel sooner rather than later. Do consider staying downtown. I know lots of you like to lobby chick at the official hotels but Dearborn is so boring. Treat yourself and stay at the Renn Cen Marriott or the Book Cadillac. Downtown Detroit will be a lot of fun that weekend with skating fans and marathoners!

Back in 97 when Skate America was in Detroit we stayed at the Marriott downtown and it was really nice to be so close to Joe Louis. Wish I could this year but I have a work obligation that conflicts with Skate Canada and Skate America. Oh well.
People mover story: everyone was getting off at the hotel after the skating one night and with the crowd not everyone could get off on time and the door closed on myself and a very old lady with her hubby on the otherside. She started to cry as we pulled away. I had to calm her down saying that we just had to stay put and ride around for a complete loop again. Luckily she trusted me and viola, hubby was waiting for her when be made it around. My friends: at the hotel bar already!
If anyone's booking a room at either Doubletree, don't forget you can get a discount if you go through the USFSA's website. Just click on the Hilton logo at the bottom of the main page of usfsa.org.
I was looking at last years roster and many skaters won't have to travel, which would save the host a ton of money.

For anyone else wondering and too lazy to google, the People Mover appears to be a monorail.
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
Who wants to watch rich people eat pizza? They must have loved that in Bangladesh. - Randy Newman on the 2014 Oscars broadcast
OK, I wasnt too lazy...
There is an interactive map to show where the stations are.
Below is a description. If I understand this, it is an unmanned monorail system that goes in one clockwise loop. The cars on the loop appear every 3-4 minutes at any station and stop for 20 seconds.
You can ride the entire loop in 15 minutes. Am I correct? I am also assuming that if one is disabled and cant get out of the way of a door closing, there is some sort of emergency stop button.
This looks like the hot set up to go back to the Doubletree/Holiday inn Express at night.
The DTC fleet consists of twelve driverless vehicles that are fully automated and computer controlled. The vehicles are each powered by a linear induction motor that can provide a maximum velocity of 56 mph. Vehicles and stations (with the exception of Grand Circus Park - see below) are handicapped accessible and each vehicle has two wheelchair securement positions. Vehicles are also equipped with a climate control system that provides maximum passenger comfort from outside temperatures that can have a seasonal range from sub-zero to 100 plus degrees.
People Mover fare is $.75 and can be paid by U.S. coins, People Mover tokens and by monthly, semi-annual, annual and special event passes. All stations are equipped with automatic turnstiles and disability accessible gates, with the exception of Grand Circus Park Station, which is stairway access, standard faregates only. Persons certified as disabled, Medicare card holders and the elderly are eligible for discounted (50%) passes and tokens.
Normal weekday operating hours are 6:30 a.m. to Midnight, with an extension to 2 a.m. on Friday. Weekend hours are 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturday and Noon to Midnight on Sunday. Early openings and extensions of evening hours are provided to accommodate sports events, major conventions and other special events taking place in the Central Business District. Round trip on the system is approximately 15 minutes and headway ranges from 3 to 4 minutes. Average dwell at each station is 20 seconds.
Ahhh the People Mover. The history of this public work is a microcosm of the history of Detroit.
I have to laugh that someone called it a monorail because of what happened when I was 12. While the People Mover was being built, and was already overdue and overbudget, we visited my grandparents in FL and went to a spring training Tigers game. Then mayor of Detroit Coleman Young was at the game and was introduced to the crowd. My mother, stood up and yelled, "Hey Coleman, did you see the people mover at Disneyworld?" Everyone laughed, it was hilarious and I know he totally heard her. They have a monorail at Disney But still, it was funny.
I think the fact that this "light rail transit" was called "The People Mover" says a lot about how the Detroit metro region views public transport.
Keeper of Nathalie Pechelat's bitchface.
OK, I'll bite. Not knowing anything about the system, is this People mover considered a turkey by the locals? On the surface to us out-of-staters, it seems like a good idea. There appears to be quite a few books on Amazon about the death of Detroit and the corruption. Is the light rail part of that?
Yes and no. It's public transportation that doesn't really go anywhere. I used to use it when I worked for an attorney and had to go from the circuit court to the federal court, and I have occasionally used it when going to a Red Wings game at the Joe, after having had dinner in Greektown. (This was back when Greektown was a vibrant, fun place to go -- before the casino killed it ). Most of the time I rode it there was only a few others in the car with me.
As for corruption in Detroit, ever heard of Kwame Kilpatrick.
(PS, I wasn't going to mention this because this is not a PI thread, but in response to your earlier post about the governor doing a hostile takeover of Detroit, the EFM is anything but - unless you subscribe to the hysteria of the unions and the race mongers. Detroit has been given every chance, by the state, local businesses and creditors, and their political body can't get their collective head out of their butt. The people who suffer are the poor people who live in the neighborhoods without decent street lioghts, with abandoned buildings housing drug operations, virtual police stations (which don't work), and firefighters with shabby, dangerous equipment. It simply isn't fair - while people like Kwame and Monica Conyers and the like get fat on public corruption. I hope to God that the EFM can help the city, but if they can't change their political culture, it will just be a matter of time until they're right back in the same situation. )
Doesnt seem like that long of a walk for even slightly able people
If you stay in the area of the event, you should have no problems.
Thanks to PI .. I discovered I'm actually a Nontheist
"Love is better than Anger, Hope is better than fear" Jack Layton 1950-2011
Thanks! I know that I am completely ignorant of the situation there, both political and economic, as far as the causes, other than the feral govt sending millions of jobs overseas. Detroit simply doesnt make the news here, if there if a Kim Kardshian story to do.
No, I have never heard of Kwame Kilpatrick, but if there is corruption, then it needs to be delt with harshly, IMHO. But who is more corrupt than those in the feral govt? I do have to wonder if perhaps Detroit is the cannary in the coal mine. Illinois is completely broke and beyond....how far is Michigan behind it? WDET-"January 7, 2013
Officials say Michigan has a more than $1 billion dollar surplus left from the state's 2012 budget. But even with that money the state may have a huge deficit in its 2013 budget. WDET's Quinn Klinefelter talked about the situation with the state budget director – John Nixon."
I appreciate hearing from any Detroiters on Restaurants they would go to in the area.

Cranberry Scones Recipe
4.95 16
"You can use any dried fruit for these tender scones, but my favorite is a mix of dried cranberries and golden raisins," says Della Dunsieth of New Castle, Pennsylvania. "Don't overmix or you'll have a hard, dense scone."
- 1 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 3 tablespoons 2% milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse sugar
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine milk and 2 tablespoons beaten egg; add to crumb mixture just until moistened. Stir in cranberries.
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat into a 6-in. circle. Cut into four wedges. Separate wedges and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush with remaining egg; sprinkle with coarse sugar.

John Romero's Daikatana, or simply Daikatana, is a first-person shooter video game developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos Interactive. Released on April 14, 2000 for Windows,[1] it was led by John Romero. The game is known as one of the major commercial failures of the video game industry. Daikatana was later ported to the Nintendo 64. A different version of the game was developed for the Game Boy Color, with a version for the PlayStation cancelled during development.
Daikatana's title is written in Japanese kanji and literally means "big katana"; however, the characters' usual reading is in fact "daitō". (See etymology of katana.) The name comes from an item in a Dungeons & Dragons campaign played by the original members of id Software, which Romero co-founded.[2]
Daikatana is composed of twenty-four levels divided into four episodes. The number of maps per level varies, but is generally about three. Each episode represents a different location and time period: futuristic Japan, ancient Greece, the Dark Ages in Norway and near-future San Francisco. Gameplay tends towards fast-paced combat, although an attempt at introducing problem-solving elements was also included.
One element that Daikatana stressed was the important role of the protagonist's two "sidekicks". The death of these sidekicks resulted in the failure of the mission, and their assistance was sometimes required for the completion of puzzles. Due to poor AI implementation, the sidekicks, who were one of the game's selling points, became a focus of criticism.[3]
In feudal Japan, two rival clans—the Ebiharas and the Mishimas—are at war. The Mishimas go to the swordmaster Usagi Miyamoto to craft a weapon to end the conflict: the Daikatana. However Usagi realizes the Mishimas' dark desires, and gives the Daikatana to the Ebiharas instead, throwing the sword into a volcano at the war's end.
In the year 2455 AD, swordmaster Hiro Miyamoto is visited by a man named Ebihara, who is suffering from a plague and about to die. Ebihara tells Hiro that Kage Mishima- the ruler of the planet- took over the world by stealing the Daikatana and using it to alter history. He stole the cure to a viral plague in the year 2020 and uses the cure to control the world's population. Ebihara's daughter- Mikiko- has been captured trying to steal back the Daikatana, and Hiro must rescue her and fix history- being descended from Usagi.
Hiro storms the Mishima's headquarters, where he rescues Mikiko as well as Superfly Johnson- the Mishima's head of security who rebelled when he grew sick of the Mishima's brutal and totalitarian practices. Mikiko and Superfly join Hiro in his quest and they steal the Daikatana. The Mishima encounters the trio as the trio steal the sword- wielding a second Daikatana. The Mishima sends the trio back in time to Ancient Greece. Hiro and Mikiko defeat the Medusa, recharging the Daikatana as it absorbs Medusa's power. The three time jump once more, only to encounter the Mishima again and be sent through time to the Dark Ages, stranded as the Daikatana has run out of power.
The group finds a sorceror named Musilde who offers to recharge the Daikatana if Hiro, Superfly, and Mikiko can save his village from the black plague. To do this, the group must defeat the Necromancer Nharre, reassemble a magical sword- the Purifier- and use the Purifier to restore the sanity of King Gharroth so that he may use the sword to end the plague. When King Gharroth recharges the Daikatana Hiro and friends time jump again, finally ending up in the year 2020, where San Francisco has fallen to gangs and martial law has been declared by the military and the Mishima.
The trio fights their way through a naval base where the Mishima is working on weapons. The ghost of Usagi enters Hiro's body and gives him full control over the Daikatana. With Usagi's knowledge and skills with the sword, Hiro slays the Mishima. One of the Daikatanas disappears, as its timeline no longer exists. Mikiko steals the remaining Daikatana and kills Superfly. Mikiko reveals that the feudal Ebihara clan was just as evil as the Mishimas, and that- when Usagi discovered how evil the Ebiharas were, he threw the Daikatana into a volcano. Mikiko announces that she intends to use the Daikatana to restore the honor of her ancient clan, then take over the world. Hiro defeats and kills Mikiko, then uses the Daikatana to fix history once and for all. The Daikatana is never found in 2455, the viral plague is cured in 2020, the Mishima never takes over the world, and Hiro exiles himself to a forgotten corner of the space-time continuum, safeguarding the Daikatana so that it never again falls into evil hands.
Romero's initial game design, completed in March 1997, called for a huge amount of content—24 levels split into 4 distinct time periods, 25 weapons, and 64 monsters. Despite this, Romero believed that development of the game could be completed in seven months, just in time for Christmas 1997. The game was to license the existing Quake game engine. At id Software, the content portion of Quake had taken a nine-person team only six months. Romero had eight artists, and calculated that he could finish in seven. This schedule was called "patently ludicrous" by John D. Carmack. Put simply, Romero did not have an established, experienced team to rely on, as Ion Storm was still forming as a company, constantly adding new employees. Many were talented amateurs, hired on the basis of level designs they had created.
Ion Storm showed Daikatana at E3 in June 1997. The engine was still running in a software mode, and looked outdated and unimpressive. At the same time, id Software was debuting their Quake II game engine, featuring hardware acceleration and innovative visuals. Romero realized that they were falling behind technologically. The Christmas 1997 deadline was quietly dropped, and the new plan was to keep creating the content for the game, and switch to the Quake II engine as soon as it was ready. The game was rescheduled for a March 1998 release.
The Daikatana team received the source to the Quake II engine in November 1997, and immediately realized that the switch would not be simple. The code was completely different from the original Quake engine, and would require throwing away eleven months of work for a complete rewrite.
In January 1999, the switch to the Quake II engine was complete. What had been scheduled for a few weeks had taken an entire year to complete. Ion Storm announced that "Come hell or high water, the game will be done on February 15, 1999." This deadline was missed, but a demo was released in March 1999. However, this demo failed to impress players as it featured no monsters and no single-player game, only multiplayer deathmatch.
The Daikatana team was then trying to create a new, more impressive demo for E3 that year. Last minute changes to the level design led to a demo that could only run at about 12 frames per second, far less than the 30 frames per second that was considered a minimum for first person shooters. The E3 disaster led to a crisis for Ion Storm. Eidos, the parent company who had thus far financed Ion Storm to the tune of $44 million, had had enough. In June 1999, Eidos and Ion Storm reached an agreement. Eidos got majority ownership of Ion Storm, and founders Todd Porter and Jerry O'Flaherty left the company.
On April 21, 2000, Daikatana finally reached gold status. It sold 200,000 copies, which Romero claimed made up its production costs.
Nintendo 64 version[edit]
The Nintendo 64 version of Daikatana has received harsh criticism. Since it was rushed through development (it was released about 3 months after the PC version), significant concessions were made, and many of the flaws of the PC version were retained. For one, the quality of the graphics was significantly lowered. In order to keep the frame-rate up, large amounts of fog were added to certain levels, particularly in Greece. The graphics were also blurred tremendously. The characters Superfly Johnson and Mikiko Ebihara were completely removed from gameplay, yet they were retained in all of the cut scenes.
Reception and controversy[edit]
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (March 2009)
From very early on in the game's development, Daikatana was advertised as the brainchild of John Romero, a man famous for his work at id Software in the development of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake. Time magazine gave Romero and Daikatana glowing coverage, saying "Everything that game designer John Romero touches turns to gore and gold."[4] An early advertisement for Daikatana, created by marketer Mike Wilson and reluctantly approved by Romero, was a red poster with large black lettering proclaiming "John Romero's about to make you his bitch", a reference to Romero's infamous trash talk during gaming. Nothing else was featured on this poster but a small tag-line reading "Suck It Down," an Ion Storm logo and an Eidos logo.[5] Romero would later apologize for the advertisement, stating in an interview that "up until that ad, I felt I had a great relationship with the gamer and the game development community and that ad changed everything. That stupid ad. I regret it and I apologize for it."[6]
Following the ad's appearance in several gaming magazines, more negative news came out of Ion Storm, fueling distaste for the game whose release was pushed back. The lavish rock star-like treatment given to Romero in his attempt to build a designer-centered game studio (including a multi-million dollar office on the top floor of a Dallas skyscraper), Romero's well-publicized expensive tastes and hobbies (such as racing Ferraris), the dubious saga of Romero's girlfriend, professional gamer Stevie "Killcreek" Case, being hired on as a level designer, and the game's development (which included most of the original development team quitting en masse to form a competing company called Gathering of Developers[7]), incited criticism from the online gaming fan community.
Daikatana was delayed multiple times from its conception in early 1997 to its eventual release in 2000. By this time, numerous games based on more advanced graphics technology (such as id Software's Quake III and Epic MegaGames' Unreal Tournament) had already been released, causing Daikatana to lag technologically in the market with its dated Quake II game engine. Additionally, its gameplay had many aspects that were widely disliked by players, such as an artificially limited number of saves per level and the presence of computer-controlled "sidekicks" who were more of an impediment to the player. As a result, Daikatana garnered generally negative reception from reviewers and players.
The game was a major contributing factor in the closure of Ion Storm's Dallas office. In 2009, ScrewAttack named this game the #7 bust on their "Top 10 Biggest Busts", which listed the biggest failures in gaming, due to its controversial advertising and the hype that Romero built on this game, which in the end turned out to be a failure.[8] In 2010, GameTrailers ranked this game the #2 biggest gaming disappointment of the decade, citing the game's terrible AI for friend and foe alike, pushed-back release dates, controversial magazine ad, and gossip-worthy internal drama (among other things) as "the embodiment of game's industry hubris."[9]

AAA is warning consumers who are searching for new car to look out for flood-damaged vehicles.
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, thousands of vehicles suffered major water damage, however, not all cars were deemed a total loss.
Those damaged cars could make their way onto used car lots throughout the country. In fact, following Hurricane Katrina, this was a reality. Hundreds of water-damaged new and used cars were purchased by unsuspecting customers.
How can you protect yourself from getting a bad deal?
AAA sent out these important, useful tips:
· Engage your sense of smell - are there any damp or musty odors inside the vehicle?
· Has the carpet or upholstery been replaced or recently shampooed? Pull back the carpet at different areas and look for mud, dirt or signs of water stains.
· Look under the vehicle for corrosion. It is uncommon to find corrosion in newer vehicles and those that are owned or sold in southern states.
· Open all doors, hood, and trunk to inspect for corrosion, mud and dirt or discoloration on the door frames, hinges and under the weather stripping. Pay special attention to small spaces and crevices that are difficult to clean, and inspect the dashboard underside for signs of mud and dirt.
· Check all warning lights, window motors, and all electrical components to ensure they are working properly. While a non-working part alone does not mean the vehicle was flooded, it combined with other difficulties is a cause for concern.
· Obtain a CARFAX Vehicle History Report - This report can potentially reveal if the vehicle has been involved in a flood, major accident, fire, or uncover odometer fraud (but does not apply if the VIN has been cloned).
· Always have the vehicle inspected by a quality repair facility prior to purchasing. AAA Approved Auto Repair facilities are located across the United States. Nearby locations can be found at AAA.com/Repair.

Police from Carrollton, Ga. told local officers Monday afternoon that they were tracking a stolen car that appeared to be in Heflin. The car, a white Chevrolet Impala, was stolen from a car lot and had a GPS device.
Heflin police found the car parked on the 900 block of Ross Street, just a block from the police department.
"We put officers in businesses around the car and a car on each end of town," said Heflin Police Chief A. J. Benefield.
Then they waited.
After a couple of hours, Marquina Walker, 30, from Carrollton, arrived to the car and got in, Benefield said. The police charged her with receiving stolen property, a felony, Benefield said.
She is currently in the Cleburne County Jail on a $10,000 bond, he said.

text: It is probably a floor drain and is probably there to receive any flooding that might be caused by washing machine, water heater rupture, etc. You didn't mention exactly what was in the utility room but it doesn't really matter because whatever is or isn't in there now may not be what was in there in 1960 when the floor drain was installed. If the water goes down relatively quickly it probably indicates a "slow" drain. This is a drain that is not fully blocked but has reduced capacity to remove waste and therefore sometimes will momentarily back up because it can't handle the normal load. This is often worse when the source of the inflow utilizes any type of pump i.e. dishwasher, washing machine, sometimes but far less often even a disposal. The partial blockage may be caused by any number of things but tree and shrub roots invading the main drain line are usually suspect number one. The first thing you should do is get a professional to come cable your drain. If you can be there do so so that you can see first hand what if anything he retrieves. It may well be worth the money to pay extra for a camera inspection of your line. This will give you a visual on the condition of your main drain. Get a vhs or dvd copy if available so you don't have to guess about what you saw later. Once the line is clear all the way to the main or septic you should start a biologic drain maintenance program. Something like BioSmart. These products are not useful for clearing blockages and should not be used for such. They contain beneficial bacteria and enzymes which will OVER TIME break down ORGANIC material that has built up on the interior walls of your drainage system. They are worth using and don't cost much especially compared to having the line cabled. They will not be effective against tree roots even though tree roots are organic. Tree root growth can be slowed by other means but probably can't be stopped short of killing every tree and shrub within 200' of your drainage system. Ask your plumbing pro what might be available in your area for root retardation. Good luck.

INWOOD - On the low block of Cline Court Monday night in Class AAA, Region II, Section 1 boys basketball action, Musselman forward Trevon Wesco had 20-20 vision.
Wesco's game-highs of 23 points and 21 rebounds, along with seven assists and five blocked shots gave the Applemen a 66-51 victory in the opening game of the tournament.
"Trevon played great, and it was more than just the usual scoring and rebounding," coach Derek Basile said. "He shared the ball well and played a great all-around game."

Wesco struggled to find his shot in the first quarter, but Tommy Hargroves picked up the Musselman offense early with six of his 16 points, along with contributions from Lee Daniels, Noah Brooks and Jacob Bare to take a 13-11 advantage after eight minutes of play.
"Tommy knows we need him and need him to score," Wesco said. "He was definitely following his part when I struggled to find my shot."
"I was getting shots I knew I could make," Hargroves said. "I stepped up for my team while Trevon had to take a bit of time to get going."

Both sides continued to stay at an even pace throughout the second quarter as the Applemen carried a four-point lead into the half.
Wesco opened his scoring night with eight points, including shooting 4 of 6 from the free throw line to pace the Applemen in the second quarter
"I knew he would catch on," Daniels said. "Once I saw that he kept making his shots after a couple minutes of warming up, I knew we had the game."
Jefferson's Kalen Nehler scored seven of his 12 points in the quarter to hold serve with the Applemen, but Musselman still outscored the Cougars 18-16.
"Kalen stepped up big time," Cougars coach Richard Lewis said. "He had a really good showing for what ended up being his last game."
The Applemen doubled their lead in the third quarter before stretching the lead out to 15 in the final quarter.
"We were able to get out into transition more," Hargroves said. "We're best when we are out in transition, and that was what helped us stretch the lead."
"Coach Basile told us to run the ball when the third quarter ended," Daniels said. "We were told to keep pressuring and get up the court the whole time."
Josh Dudley, who led the Cougars with 15 points, hit a pair of 3-pointers, and Nehler added five points in the quarter, but Musselman's pressure forced turnovers as the Applemen capped the scoring off with a right-handed dunk by Wesco.
Musselman advances to play the Martinsburg Bulldogs, West Virginia's current top-ranked team, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the Martinsburg Fieldhouse with hopes of pulling off an upset.
"We're a big underdog going in, and no one expects us to win," Daniels said. "I feel like we can win, and we have shown that we can stay with them."
"We have one day to get ready to play against a very good team," Basile said. "Martinsburg has a combination of everything. They have height, speed, and length. We are going to have to take good care of the basketball in order to get the win."

The real importance of the revived Viacom-YouTube caseApril 6, 2012: 11:13 AM ET
The case is a modest win for content-owners. But it also fiddles with bedrock definitions that determine the outcome of a crucial recurring question: When are companies liable for their users' copyright infringement?
By Roger Parloff, senior editor
FORTUNE -- Yesterday's federal appeals court ruling, reinstating Viacom's 2007 copyright lawsuit against Google's YouTube, may be of greater importance to the nation's technology and media lawyers than to the parties in the suit.
Viacom (VIA) and YouTube themselves have been peacefully coexisting fairly well since 2008, when YouTube initiated its Content ID filtering program, which Viacom finds satisfactory. (Earlier this week Viacom's Paramount unit and YouTube announced a deal to rent Paramount movies from the site.) Their dispute is backward looking and finite.
Nevertheless, the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is of tremendous ongoing interest to the tech and content industries because it fiddles with bedrock definitions that determine the outcome of a crucial recurring question in our Web 2.0 world: When are Internet companies liable for their users' online copyright infringing activities?
The court's puzzling, gnarly, 39-page answer to that question, written by Judge Jose Cabranes, will certainly make lawyers earn their fees. What it gives with the right hand, it seems to take away with the left. It will give each side both ammunition and headaches in current and future litigation over such controversial businesses as cyberlockers, like Hotfile.com and RapidShare, which are hotbeds of infringing file-sharing.
MORE: Angry at health care arguments? Get even.
Despite the ambiguity, though, the ruling clearly nudges the lines of demarcation modestly in the direction content-owners had hoped. It allows Viacom's suit against YouTube to go forward "at least with respect to a handful of specific clips" for which Viacom was able to show (mainly through internal YouTube emails) highly specific knowledge of infringement on YouTube's part. The ruling also reinstates a related class-action copyright suit against YouTube, whose representative plaintiffs include the Football Association Premier League (an English soccer organization), the French Tennis Federation, and a number of music publishers. Those plaintiffs seek damages for ongoing alleged copyright infringement on the site.
In brief statements, both Viacom and YouTube maintained that the wording of the court's ruling amounted to a victory for it. According to Viacom, "The Court delivered a definitive, common sense message -- intentionally ignoring theft is not protected by the law." YouTube countered: "All that is left of the Viacom lawsuit . . . is a dispute over a tiny percentage of videos long ago removed. . . . Nothing in this decision impacts the way YouTube is operating."
The ruling's greatest contribution might be its conclusion that site-owners' "willful blindness" to users' infringing activity can be deemed to be "knowledge" on their part, potentially disqualifying them from the protections of the safe harbor. (Explicit recognition of the "willful blindness" principle had been proposed in the recent Stop Online Piracy Act bill, or SOPA -- which was dropped after spectacular Internet protests in January -- and had been one of the hot-button issues that had alarmed tech lawyers and digital rights advocates.)
Viacom's case arises from the early history of YouTube, and illustrates well the temptations startup web businesses may have to turn a blind eye to users' copyright infringement, at least while building scale and audience.
MORE: Solyndra report misses the point
YouTube launched in December 2005 and was acquired by Google (GOOG) in November 2006 for $1.65 billion. Viacom presented evidence that a large portion of YouTube's early traffic was being drawn not by the homemade, Charlie Bit My Finger-type videos for which the site is best known, but by "premium content" -- i.e., clips of copyrighted television shows or movies that were being posted by users, almost always without authorization. Many of these, including clips from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart or South Park, were owned by Viacom.
In internal emails YouTube officers estimated that 75% to 80% of the site's traffic was drawn by such content, while a survey commissioned by Google, in anticipation of acquiring the company, reached similar findings.
There was also email evidence that YouTube's officers understood that countenancing infringement gave it a competitive advantage over more prudent rivals, like Google Video and Yahoo (YHOO) Video, which were more fastidious about proactively removing such content. YouTube's officers calculated that, because YouTube was attracting more eyeballs, it would be worth more to an acquirer or in an IPO. In an email exchange about a popular and infringing CNN clip concerning the space shuttle, for instance, Yahoo co-founder Jawed Karim urged leaving it on the site, noting, "we can remove it once we're bigger and better known, but for now that clip is fine."
Under the safe-harbor provisions of the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), site-owners have no duty to monitor their site for infringing materials. Instead, content-owners bear the burden and expense of monitoring sites, and must bring infringing content to the site's attention through very specific notices -- typically identifying each instance of offending material by URL. So long as site owners promptly take down the material upon notification, they are home free under the DMCA, even if other users promptly restore the offending material moments later. Accordingly, many content-owners find the DMCA's whack-a-mole remedies inadequate.
MORE: Facebook's patent headaches: More to come?
At the same time, the DMCA does stipulate that site-owners lose the protections of the safe-harbor if they have "actual knowledge" of specific infringing activity, or "are aware of facts and circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent." Thus, content-owners have argued that if there are "red flags" that infringing activity is ubiquitous or widespread, safe harbor should not be available.
The lower court judge Louis Stanton threw Viacom's case out in June 2010, finding that YouTube was protected by the DMCA safe harbor provisions, notwithstanding its surveys and problematic emails. In what probably represented the high watermark for DMCA safe-harbor protections, Stanton did so even while acknowledging evidence that "the defendants not only were generally aware of, but welcomed, copyright-infringing material being placed on their website."
Yesterday's ruling overturned Stanton's decision. Nevertheless, the panel still seemed to agree with Stanton that mere survey evidence showing that infringement was widespread was not sufficient to constitute either "actual knowledge" or a red flag sufficient to deprive YouTube of the safe harbor. Only emails referencing specific clips -- a series of Bud Light (BUD) commercials, the shuttle launch, some soccer matches, some Reno 911 clips -- seemed sufficient to constitute the sort of red flag that could strip YouTube of safe harbor protection.
The cases now go back to the district court for further proceedings.
MORE: JPMorgan paid $373 million arbitration award
While Viacom does not seek damages for any clips after it entered into YouTube's ContentID program in 2008, the class action plaintiffs do.
Under the Content ID system, cooperating content owners give YouTube samples of their content. YouTube then uses digital fingerprinting technology to detect users' subsequent attempts to upload identical content. YouTube then allows the content owner to decide, before such material is posted, what to do with the clip -- either show it, giving the content-owner a piece of the associated ad-revenues, or block it.
Nevertheless, YouTube's Content ID system is "woefully inadequate" in practice, according to the class's counsel Charles Sims, of Proskauer, who says it works poorly for his clients, is inconsistent with copyright law, and presents copyright holders with a coercive "take-it-or-leave-it" proposition. Thus, they seek damages for alleged infringements continuing into the present.

Lay some pipe get possible life. if the girl was white it's over for Jame is in trouble.
Report: DNA report connects Florida State QB Jameis Winston to accuser
A DNA report connects Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston to the woman who alleges that he sexually assaulted her, reports ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach.
According to the report, a Florida state crime lab determined that the chances that the DNA in the woman's underwear is a match for someone other than Winston was one in 2.2 trillion.
Winston has not been charged with any crime. An attorney for Winston denied the reported allegations against his client after they emerged last week.
The attorney told the Tallahassee Democrat on Thursday that his client had voluntarily submitted a DNA test in the case last Thursday. He also alleged that law enforcement had leaked the DNA report, which he says he has not seen.
SI WIRE: Jameis Winston's attorney: Florida State QB and accuser had consensual sex
Earlier Wednesday, the accuser's family released a statement that claimed that a Tallahassee, Fla., police detective told the accuser that her life could "be made miserable" if she pursued charges. The accuser stopped cooperating with police in February, according to ESPN.com.
The family's statement also alleged that detectives "specifically refused to collect Winston's DNA or interview Winston's roommate who witnessed the attack."
More from ESPN.com:
The DNA match alone does not prove that Winston, a leading Heisman Trophy candidate, sexually assaulted the woman, as the accuser's family claimed in a statement released by a Tampa-based attorney on Wednesday. But it does indicate that Winston, who has yet to talk to Tallahassee police or the state attorney investigating the case, had his DNA associated with the accuser on Dec. 7, 2012, when the accuser claimed she was sexually assaulted at an off-campus apartment.
SI WIRE: Report: Police warned accuser about pursuing Jameis Winston sexual assault case
Jameis screwed some broad laid some pipe and probably went his merry way. The scorned broad wanted more. Like love and now cash. Lay pipe suffer for life. It was sex not murder. move on.
This doesn't seem to be a white or black thing unless the accuser girl is white. If she is white all hell will break loose in Florida. If the girl is black let it go and let the kid move on.
He said, she said.
Unless corroborating witnesses come forward, nothing will come from this other than Winston's Heisman chances being ruined.
Where is this girl's school spirit? She needs to take one for the team here. That being said, if Winston had consensual sex with this poor girl and got her pregnant during a one night stand then he needs to do the right thing and marry her. The wedding should be this weekend and then every one can move on with Winston winning the Heisman after he helps FSU beat down Idaho, Florida, Duke and Alabama for National Championship. GO 'NOLES!
The accuser has to be black and poor because Jameis would be in jail if it was a white girl. Pay her off in food stamps and cocaine and be done with it.
How does Jameis spell Heisman? R A P E
I'm not going to sit here and play the 'blame the victim' card, as we do not know what actually happened but let's stop and think. How many times have we seen a scenario where a college girl got too drunk, slept with a guy, woke up hungover, ashamed, and full of regret and instead of owning up to her actions decides to go after the guy? It's happened time and time again, especially when said female realizes the guy is a football player. On the other hand, how many times have we seen an entitled football player walk into a party thinking he can get any girl he wants simply because he's on the football team? Plenty of times. Interesting to see how this all plays out.
Accused of Rape? No heisman vote. The girl has to be black and poor. If it was a white girl who was raped there would have been a lynching by now.
Now his attorney claims the sex was consensual. OK.... the sex thing has been put to bed. Now it's down to.... did he force her or was it really consensual?
Clearly something went on. It looks more and more like they had sex. Whether or not it was consensual will come out and if he's guilty I hope he pays for it. Rape is a crime of which the bell cannot be unrung. It will be with her the rest of her life. What concerns me is the timing of the sudden revelation of it all to the public. Who let the cat out at this time? FSU in the title hunt with 'Bama. Here's OSU in the wings not getting the respect it thinks it deserves and that shot at the title. Of course there's upstart Baylor coming on and with Stanford's loss, Oregon is thrust back in (of course they would need a lot of help). Who stands the most to gain by exposing this now???
FSU: Forced Sex University (nee Free Shoes U).
He burst in on his steed, with his spear on fire, and thrust it into the turf without regard to the owner. I BLAME THE MASCOT
Jimmy hat Winston! C'mon man...
I would seriously consider legal action against somebody if i were Winston.
The D.A. Meggs is a double FSU graduate. No conflict of interest.
He was set up. Let me explain..............
The other person in 2,000,000,000,000 just happened to be in Tallahassee on the same day at the same party at the same time and just happened to get lucky with the girl who "mistakenly" accused him.
C'mon guys; let all the information come out before we crucify this guy. Two Texas players were held out of their bowl game last year and removed from the team for two or three months for this exact same offense, only to have the charges dropped because evidence showed that the sex was consensual. Maybe he did it, but maybe he didn't. We just don't know yet. And, by the way, I'm pulling for Bryce Petty in the Heisman race.
@dandogwood what the hell do you mean if she is black let it go? First off find out if a crime as been committed. If so then pursue justice regardless of the color of the Girl
@bartlett The hell with a school spirit!!! If a crime has been committed here, then justice must be served. That's the problem with sports now, too much preferential treatment. I love sports but no one should be above the law regardless of who you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@dandogwood Don't be so sure about that. O J got away. It's all about money my friend. Color is not much of factor these days.
@dandogwood Do you have sex with daddy first and then your uncle? I bet your brother hates getting sloppy thirds.
Just so you know, a witticism has to actually be *witty*. It's sort of a core requirement.
@Bucky182 and besides, 100 no' s equals a yes. That said, I think the police are going to have some explaining to do as to why they did get a DNA sample last year. The thing that is odd is Winston' s attorney initially said that the accuser reported her attacker as being 5'8 or so, with the implication that his client (Winston) was obviously not the attacker. Now the attorney is saying he expected a DNA match. I guess it is just another day in Florida.
@dandogwood sounds like you are on meth or something!!!!!!!!!!
@dandogwood DORK! Are you Al Sharpton's son? Jesse Jackson's? Some other moron that claims they are trying to put a stop to racism yet stirs it up whenever they can despite the fact that there is beyond nothing suggesting it. What a moron.
@Chuckster And they say there was a witness. How many consensual hookups have a witness in the room?
@Chuckster so right, there is no doubt the timing is indeed political. Not only that if he is guilty they will fight it off until after the season, then throw him to the dogs. Unless NFL a team express an interest then he'll get some support to push it under the rug. It's all about how valuable he would be to some team. It's sad but it's all about money sometime.
@Chuckster I believe the initial report was by TMZ. With that said, I would not put it past Urban Meyer. He has the Florida connections and the motivation.
@UncleJemima I've heard Free Stuff U......Free Sh...t U........and Florida State Criminals.

@OwG If he's guilty I am sure there will be legal action.....against Winston. On the other hand if he's not, then he has every right to sue her. Good luck with that.
@UncleJemima Whew! And here I thought "it's Florida....hanging chad state....he'll probably be elected governor in his sophomore year"..... Thank GOD the DA is a FSU grad.
@RTR Lloyd Christmas loves, not likes your post.
@BobRayTalbot You are talking about the linebacker Jordan Hicks and QB Case McCoy. It happened in San Antonio and yes charges were dropped, but this is Texas and football>>>>> rape. Nothing to see here folks.
@BobRayTalbot Where would the fun be if we can't crucify him???? He's innocent for unless they prove he's guilty. This is all coffee pot talk now.
@BobRayTalbot the information already came out in the girl's underwear and vagina, for chrissake
@tyronew4 @dandogwood If the girl was white there will be prison time. If black nothing will happen. watch.
Man.... what's with all the incest comments you have been posting lately?? You sound like a person who has been a victim in the past.
@Herroldo @Chuckster in a college setting you would be surprised my friend. there are many roommates you know.
@Herroldo @Chuckster Good point. I can hear him now, "Yo Tony...come here...watch this"
@UncleJemima @Chuckster You know that very thought was my first inclination. He feels like OSU has been screwed out of the title. 22 consecutive wins is impressive but consider the competition. Of course, he's heard all of that too.
"So you're saying there's a chance."
one in 2,000,000,000,000 chances are 99.9999999% guilty.
@HerschelAnderton @BobRayTalbot But his point is (and well taken) that the sex may have been consensual and therefore all the DNA and such are meaningless.
@Listening @dandogwood sounds like he is from a very dysfunctional family that has some very serious immoral sex and race issues.
@Chuckster @UncleJemima interesting twist, both points valid. there is a deep divide between FSU alumni and Gator alumni.
@UncleJemima @Chuckster hahahahah on Miles
@Chuckster @UncleJemima well, that would be my Sleepers twist, in that the Florida grad screws up the case but not in an obvious manner...kind of like how Les Miles coaches.
@UncleJemima @Chuckster Interesting twist. But what better defense? A Florida grad defending the FSU kid, who's in the hunt for the Heismann and a title???? Why would he defend the FSU kid unless he's innocent.
@Chuckster @UncleJemima Winston' s attorney who has been on the case for a year is a double Florida grad. Think of that what you will. For some reason I have been thinking of the movie Sleepers ,but in this case the defense attorney would throw the case and not the prosecution.
But what if they had shot me in the face???
Unfortunately that applies here too......
@RTR @Chuckster @BobRayTalbot Well, chances are 99.9999999% that his fluid was there which implies that he had intercourse with her and then given her statements seriously implicates him in the assault. Oh what a load that sounds like..... I think you're right....but will wait to make final judgment.
@Chuckster @HerschelAnderton @BobRayTalbot i know. i'm simply a troll.

2009 Honda CR-V Trims
|Reviews (3)
|Pictures (20)
The 2009 Honda CR-V EX adds some nice touches to the CR-V's base LX trim without adding too much to the price or detracting at all from the 20 city/27 highway/23 combined mpg of the SUV. The exterior additions include 17-inch alloy wheels, a chrome grille, chrome rear license plate trim, a one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature, variable intermittent windshield wipers, and rear privacy glass. The interior additions include a 160-Watt AM/FM/6-disc in-dash audio system with six speakers (two more speakers than in the LX), steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, a security system, one extra 12-volt power outlet, and a dual-deck cargo shelf.
|Reviews (3)

The 2009 Honda CR-V EX 4WD falls right in the middle of the six trims in terms of price and features. The only addition to the CR-V EX is, obviously, the four-wheel-drive system. Honda labels this system as Real Time, because it does not require any driver intervention. The system senses when there is a loss of traction in the front wheels and then sends the appropriate amount of torque to the rear wheels automatically and almost instantaneously - in real time. The four-wheel-drive system does get one mile less per gallon highway (26) and combined (22) than the EX trim, but it gets the same city mileage (20 for both).
|Reviews (2)
|Pictures (9)
The 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L adds a load of features to what is, in essence, a practical and efficient vehicle, thus giving the owner the best of both worlds. In addition to, or replacing, the features Honda gave the CR-V EX, the EX-L gets a 270-watt AM/FM/6-CD in-dash audio system with seven speakers including a subwoofer, XM Radio, dual-zone automatic climate control, driver's seat with eight-way power adjustments and a power lumbar support, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather trim for the interior, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and heated and body-color power side mirrors.
The EX-L also has an available navigation system that features up to 8GB of memory and voice recognition, and can provide detailed directions using a series of 24 global positioning satellites.
|Reviews (2)
|Pictures (56)
The 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L 4WD is the top-of-the-line trim for this model. It gets all the extras the EX-L gets – including the optional navigation system – plus Honda's Real Time four-wheel-drive system. So if you want both the luxury of, just as an example, a heated driver's seat with power adjustments and support, plus the ability to go off-road with four-wheel capability that's automatically controlled by the vehicle, the EX-L 4WD is for you.
|Reviews (1)
|Pictures (38)
Like all base trims, the biggest advantage to buying a 2009 Honda CR-V LX as opposed to the other five trims offered is the price - $21,245 MSRP instead of the $23,495 EX or the $22,445 LX 4WD. For the most part, the EX and EX-L trims add features to the LX base, but there are a few details unique to the LX other than the bottom line. The LX actually has about 2 more cubic feet of cargo space (103.8 cubic feet total). That's not really enough extra room to notice, but at least you'll know you're not getting a smaller vehicle. It's also a slightly lighter vehicle than the other two trims (its curb weight is 3,389 lbs).
The 2009 CR-V LX may not have all the extras you want, but it's hardly bare bones – it has cruise control, Vehicle Stability Assist with traction control, 60/40 split rear sliding, folding, and tumbling seats, an antilock braking system, Grade Logic Control, and, of course, the famous CR-V mileage – 20 city/27 highway/23 combined mpg – that probably sounds fantastic for owners of almost any other SUV.
|Reviews (3)
|Pictures (5)
The obvious addition for the 2009 Honda CR-V LX 4WD from the base CR-V LX is Honda's Real Time four-wheel-drive system. When the front wheels slip, the four-wheel-drive system uses dual hydraulic pumps to automatically send more torque from the 2.7-liter, inline four-cylinder engine to the rear wheels. The more slippage there is up front, the more torque gets pushed to the back wheels. The LX 4WD does get slightly lower gas mileage, rated at 20 city/26 highway/22 combined mpg.

Church-provided child-care programs must obtain licenses
NASHVILLE (AP) — State officials say church-sponsored child-care programs such as parents' day out, must either obtain licenses or limit their programs to no more than two days a week.
The Tennessean reports the programs have been given until next summer to comply with the rules after Department of Human Services attorneys scrutinized the child-care center law and determined it had been misinterpreted.
Parents' day out programs fill a niche for people who don't need full-time child-care, such as parents who work part-time or stay at home but need a break.
DHS said in a statement that it will work with child care providers over the next year to explore any possible compromise.
"The department is doing all it can to mitigate any burden or hardships caused by the transition. However, it is necessary for us to take steps to comply with the law," the statement reads.
Annual licensing fees range from $100 to $500, but state health and safety requirements could force some programs to close, especially if their buildings are deemed inadequate.
Terri Anderson, director of Jacob's Ladder Preschool at Nolensville First United Methodist Church, told the newspaper the change could mean that teachers lose their jobs and parents lose the child care they rely on.
"The impact of that is going to be huge," she said.

Optimizing Battery Operating Time of Wireless Devices
웹캐스트 - recorded | 시간 및 장소
Why this webcast is important:
There is a growing need for battery current drain testing in hardware development, software development, design validation and manufacturing of wireless devices. Most wireless devices spend the majority of its operating life time in an idle or sleep mode and operate in short bursts of activity to conserve power. This causes the battery current drain to go from nA's and uA's up to Amps of current. This wide dynamic range of current is very difficult to measure using traditional fixed range current measurement techniques such as the use of current probes and shunts.
This webcast will go on to discuss an Agilent exclusive feature called "seamless measurement ranging" which overcomes the limitations of traditional techniques for battery current drain testing. "Seamless measurement ranging" is a patented technology that accurately measures battery current drain from uA to Amps in a single sweep, while at the same time ensuring the highest level of measurement accuracy at each portion of the measurement waveform.
Who should attend:
Designers of and Manufacturing Engineers for battery-powered, wireless devices.

Lockout Update: Day 73: There is still a lockout.
First, the NHL news. The league and the union have decided to go to a mediator. They did this, I believe, three times during the last lockout. The second time was in early February and when that one failed Gary Bettman canceled the season. The first time, was around this time eight years ago. This will get them talking and on the bright side, the gap isn't as big as last time.
Mediation did not work in football and basketball, but the NHL gives it a go - a column by James Mirtle.
The initial mediator assigned, Guy Serota, was removed from the position mere hours after being given the job. His Twitter account was hacked and the hacker said some controversial things. To avoid any confusion or perceived bias, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service just took him off the case. You can read more on that situation here.
I love Donald Fehr's spin on Roman Hamrlik's criticism of himself and the union:
"Democracy can be messy…we don't believe in censoring anybody. Different than the owners."
Well played, sir. Exactly how I'd react.
Taylor Hall is the AHL player of the week. He had a goal and nine points in three games. He is the second OKC player to win this award. Justin Schultz won it as well.
Schultz, by the way, is on a seven-game points streak (13 points - yes 13 points).
Tampa prospect Richard Panik is on a 10-game points streak, with 13 points in that span.
After a modest start, Columbus rearguard David Savard has 10 points in his last seven games.
With Barry Brust giving up a total of three goals in five games for Abbotsford, Leland Irving is having a hard time getting into any games. Irving has played just three times this month - I had expected him to possibly steal the backup job in Calgary, but if he can worm his way onto the ice for Abbotsford I don't see how that can happen.
Jacob Markstrom has turned things around. He's not winning…but his play has rebounded. After giving up 12 goals on 90 shots to start the year (0.867), he's given up 17 goals on 178 shots since (0.904). Not great, but not as bad. And his last two games he's allowed four goals on 58 shots.
For those watching for potential free agent bargains in the KHL, Patrick Thoresen has 28 points in 28 games for SKA. Our old pal Aleksey Morozov has 22 in 29 for Ak Bars.
Sergei Kostitsyn has really found his groove in the KHL, posting 21 points in 17 games. If he can ride that wave of confidence back to Nashville, he could find that elusive 60-point barrier that so many skilled Nashville guys miss out on. I have him in one keeper. Was souring on him, but this makes me feel a little better. I know points don't translate, but I believe confidence does.
Here's an update on what Peter Mueller has been up to. Hint: not much, just working out.
KHL weekly awards were announced, with the only real "known" name being Nicklas Backstrom. He won the "best attacker" award.
Mark Parrish has retired. So that's two in the past week - Spacek was the other one.
My Hockey News article investigates Marcus Foligno's sudden transformation into a potential top sixer.
Magnitogorsk highlights from four days ago, including Gonchar, Kulemin, Cal O'Reilly and Malkin…
Yesterday I clarified some statements later in the day, because I had some pretty passionate pro-union readers upset. They had misunderstood my stance on some issues. I straightened it with those who contacted me in person, but in case you read the ramblings in the morning but didn't check back in, you can take a look at the statement here. One of my most controversial ramblings, with a good 35 passionately written comments underneath.
It's finally come to this! Owners vs. Players, and now… Fantasy Hockey Addict vs. Fantasy Hockey Addict. Now we have infighting at DobberHockey! Please - think of the children!
